Hi all,
im a relative SUP noob, with a strong surfing and kitesurfing background. At 6'5 and 95kg I'm riding a 10'Whopper mostly, but also have a Jimmy Lewis Quad 9'7. My SUP surfing is past noob stage and I do ok at the local but my question is about paddles. The whopper came with this narrow blade paddle that seriously is close to useless. The JL cam with an adjustable paddle, and I use this most of the time, but its damn heavy and flex's a lot. I find I'm losing a lot of power, especially at that critical late pivot and take off moment.
Borrowed a paddle off a mate yesterday that was really stiff and it was a game changer. Instant power and amazing thrust when I needed it.

So what's the go? What's the difference in paddles, what are the options and what does everyone recommend?

Also, is there a length standard? I'm pretty tall and find both my paddles seem a bit short. I'm kind of bending over to paddle

Appreciate any and all advice.

Thanks
Simon.
